What is an IEC C17 connector?

The C17 is a 2-pole, unearthed female connector rated 10 A at 250 V and 70 C, effectively an ungrounded version of the C13 that mates with a C18 inlet. It is used on double-insulated (Class II) power tools and appliances that need the higher 10 A current of the C13 size but have no protective-earth contact.

What is the difference between C13/C14 and C17/C18?

The C13/C14 is a three-pole earthed 10 A coupler, while the C17/C18 uses the same general body at 10 A but omits the earth contact for Class II equipment. Visually a C17 lacks the earth-slot feature of a C13, and it will mate with C18 inlets; it should never replace an earthed cord where safety earthing is required.

Will a C17 connector fit a C18 inlet on double-insulated tools?

Yes, that is its intended pairing. The C17 female cord connector plugs onto the C18 male inlet fitted to some double-insulated power tools, motors and appliances. Because both are unearthed and rated 10 A, they suit Class II devices that do not connect to protective earth.

Can I use a C13 cord in place of a C17?

A C13 connector can often physically enter a C18 inlet, but the correct, certified match for a C18 is a C17. More importantly, a C17/C18 must not be used on equipment that requires an earth, and substituting couplers across safety classes can compromise certification. Follow the appliance inlet and rating plate.

Can you manufacture C17/C18 power tool cords?

Yes. We supply C17-terminated cord sets for double-insulated tools and appliances with flexible, abrasion-resistant cable and the appropriate regional wall plug, certified to UL/cUL, ETL or VDE. Custom lengths, colors and strain relief are available; MOQ is 200-1000 pieces and samples take 7-15 days.
